Don't steal motorcycles in Brazil.
NSFW.
No gore, but someone does get shot.

"A crook picks a really wrong time to rob someone." I don't think there is a good time to rob someone. Clearly not in Brazil. Freakin' news casters...

Let's ask Blazin'Ace, he lives down there. At least he can tell if it is Portuguese.

Unfortunately stealing bikes over here is still something that happens a lot. It's very easy to get away with it.
This video got famous very quickly, especially because it happened to a Brazilian YouTube personality, which was famous for his helmet cam and riding a white "Hornet".
And, as always, it's splitting opinions of people who say robbers should be shot dead while others say nothing justifies killing another person.
Also, coincidentally, last night another bike thief was shot by a undercover cop. But that's just a coincidence. There are too many bikers over here, and they are all the same, type. Most have fake plates and since they blend in and split lanes very easily they can get away very quickly.
I was robbed in 2011, I called the police and when they asked how they escaped "Well, it was dark, so I couldn't see exactly. But it was a red Honda 125cc or 150cc" (380,000 150cc Hondas and 290,000 125cc Hondas were sold in 2012 alone in Brazil). "Yeah... we'll look for something suspect". They obviously knew they'd never catch the guys. These things are stolen by the minute, used in robberies, escapes and then thrown away.
I posted a timelapse another day, and you can clearly see the bikes flying by. And surprisingly none was doing illegal stunts. It's not uncommon to see them crossing red lights. If they're in pairs, they cross red lines, drive the wrong way, sidewalks, etc. While the guy in the back covers the plate with his hand. Simple, right?
!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!
And just TRY to do something. PRAY you won't hit a biker. They'll gang and swarm over you. A friend of mine bumped into a biker and got his car kicked and trashed by 10 random bikers who had nothing to do with it.
